Guides

- "Embeddium instance tainted by mods" is not a crash
Embeddium prints a taint warning naming every mod that patched its internals. It is a support disclaimer, not an error, and removing the named mod usually makes things worse. How to read the line and what it is actually telling you.
- "Flywheel only supports Sodium 0.6.0-beta.2" when you have neither mod installed
A Forge 1.20.1 crash names two mods that are not in your mods folder. Two separate packaging mechanisms stack to produce it: mods that register under another mod's id, and mods bundled inside other mods. Once you know both, the error reads plainly.
- Alpha, Beta, Infdev and Classic modding: which project is which
BTW:CE, Back2Beta, BetterBeta, Legacy+ and three separate loaders all target legacy Minecraft, and none of them are the same thing. A map to which one covers your version and where its real wiki lives.
- Armor textures to equipment JSON: why worn armor breaks in 1.21.2+
Armor rendering moved off plain layer_1/layer_2 PNGs and onto a separate equipment JSON system in 1.21.2 through 1.21.4. Updating the item icon does not fix the worn texture. What changed, where the new files live, and how to migrate.
- Backing up a Minecraft server before an update
World conversion is one way. Once a world opens on a newer version it will not open on the old one again, which makes the backup the only way back.
